Closure of aquatics area
The aquatic area will close until further notice from the close of business today, Friday 20th March.
Closure of learn to swim
It is with regret we must cease the operation of our learn to swim program until further notice. If your child is currently enrolled in the learn to swim program, you will not be charged for lessons during the closure. Your spot in the program will remain secure for the reopening of the aquatics area and we will communicate along the way. Credits will be applied for this week’s lessons paid for in advance.
Changes to group fitness timetables
Our new quarterly timetable was due to begin 30th March. The current timetable remains in place with reduced class capacities. Some classes will have to be structured slightly differently to allow social distancing.

Extension of your visit passes
We have extended everyone’s visit pass expiry by 12 months to use your remaining visits. You do not need to do anything for this to take effect.
How you can help:

- Treat others the way you would like to be treated. We do not require patrons to police rules on our behalf. If you see anything that is against the government advice, please contact a team member to assist.
